IMPROVEMENT IN PLOWS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 341, l 91. dated January 21, 186:2.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known thatl, CHARLES BEIDLER, of Allentown, in the county of Lehigh and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and Improved Plow; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, in which- Figure l is a side view of my invention. Fig. 2 is an inverted plan of the same.

Similar letters of reference indicate correspondin g parts in the two figures.

The object of this invention is to obtain a plow of a superior class, which may be constructed very economically and in a durable manner, and be of light or easy draft, and capable of being very readily adjusted to plow deep or shallow.

The invention consists in a novel way of securing the nose to the plow, substantially as hereinafter fully shown and described.

To enable those skilled in the art to fully understand and construct my invention, I will proceed to describe it.

A represents the beam of the plow; B B, the handles; 0, the mold-board; D, the landside; E, the share, and F the nose.

The moldboard 0 may be of any of the known forms now used, and the landside I) has a projection, to, extending inward at right angles, said projection abutting against a similar projection, b, at the front end of the n1old-board. (See Fig. 2.)

Through the two projections to b there is a hole to admit ofa bolt, 0, passing through them. This bolt 0 projects from the back end of the nose F, and it has a screw, (I, cut on it to receive a nut, e, a collar, f, being on the bolt 0 between the nut e and projection a, as shown clearly in Fig. 2.

The collar f is provided with a laterallyprojecting pin, g, which extends through the shoe E, is riveted at its outer end, and serves as a stay or brace for share E. The back part of share E has a loop or lip, h, which fits over the lower edge of the moldboard O, as shown clearly in Fig. 2.

The nose F abuts against the projection 12 of the moldboard, and is secured firmly in place by screwing up the nut c. The nose F may be of cast-iron, and the bolt 0 may be of wrought-iron and placed in the mold, the nose F being castaround the bolt. This would be the cheapest and most secure mode of connecting the bolt and nose. By this arrangement it will be seen that the nose and share may be readily attached to and detached from the plow and new ones substituted at any time when required.

To the beam A there is attached a vertical bar, G. This bar is slotted vertically at its upper part, as shown at h, and through this slot a screw, 2, passes into the beam A. The lower part of bar G is fitted in a guide, H, at the inner side of the landside, and in the lower end of the bar G there is fitted a roller, I. This roller I, as the plow is drawn along, rests on the subsoil, and by adjusting the bar G higher or lower the depth of the cut of the plow may he graduated as desired.

The roller 1, it will be seen, is at the back part of the landside D, and consequently its elevation or depression will vary the inclination of the share E and nose F.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

Attaching the nose F to the plow by means of the screw-bolt c, passing through projections (0 I) of the landside and mold-board, and provided with the collar f and share-brace 9, all arranged as and for the purpose set forth.

CHARLES BEIDLER.
